It measures about 10 or 12 inches in circumference and was grown on a tree in his yard in the city that is only two years old. He states that there were seven pears on it this year. Mr. Scurry does not know the variety and if any one who is an ex pert on fruits could see this notice he would be glad to have him examine t~i par ndteliMm what the va-. COUNTY PRINARY RETURNS. Quick Work in Getting Result in This County-Phone System a Great Help. The second primary on last Tues day brought out a very full vote though not quite so large as in the first primary. The interest in this primary, of course, was centred large ly in the race for governor. The re turns In detail for Newberry county and by counties in the State are pub lished in tables in this issue of The Herald and News. The Herald and News issued a num ber of extras, in fact nine in all, dur ing the evening so that our friends might know the result as it was re ceived at this office. We suppose that every 'phone in the county called up The Herald and News office at some time between 4 and 12 o'clock on Tuesday and some of them called up several times. It Is always a pleasure to Th Herald and News to answer any inquiry that we may be able to, and give our friends throughout the county any information in our posses sion t4at they may desire. The first extra by The Herald and News was issued at 4.45 p. m., and carried the returns from 21 of the 43 precincts in the county, and gave a total of 1,661 out of the 2,500 votes. The second extra was issued at 5.15 p. m., and gave the returns from 28 precincts, carrying a total vote of 2,055. The third extra was issued at 5.45 p. m., and gave returns from 37 precincts, carrying a total vote of 2, 76. The fourt extra was Issued at 6.10, and gave returns from 39 pre cints, including 2,447 votes. That was practically the total vote of the coun ty, the other four precincts polling in the first primary only 108 votes, but at 6.20 p. m. another extra was issued, giving returns from 40 precincts, in cluding 2,477. Another extra was is sued at 6.35 p. m., carrying some State returns and at 7.30 p. m. an extra was issued giving full returns from the county, covering 2,554 votes. This was probably the quickest that the complete returns have been issued in any election in Newberry county. The Herald and News is indebted to the courtesy and the efficiency and the promptness of the young ladies and young gentlemen who operate the telephone exchange for this prompt service and also to our friends throughout the county In 'phoning the returns as quick as the ballots were counted. Mr. J. Claude Dominick also assisted during the evening in tabu lating, making the tables complete, and it is due to his efficiency that the totals were so correctly made out. Of course, the young men of the office in the mechanical department, ren :dered their usual prompt and efficient work. At 11 o'clock an extra was issued, giving a bulletin from th'e News and Courier covering 93,584 votes and one from the State at Columbia covering about the same number of votes, showing that both newspapers conced ed the election of Mr. Blease. In view of the many conscientious prohibitionists who live in Newberry and who could not vote for a home man as against a candidate that stood for prohibition, the handsome vote re ::eived by Mr. Blease in his home county is very complimentary. It should be noted that he not only car ried the county by a majority of 625, but he also had a majority of the four clubs in the city proper, exclusive of the )fwo cotton mill precincts. This is mentioned for the reason that it was undertaken to show that his majority In the city of Newberry was due to the otton mill vote. Of course, the cot ton mill vote is as good vote as any ther, and all candidates for office, we have always observed, are as dili gent and as active and as proud to receive this, vote as they are to re eive any other vote. The crowd that was at The Herald and News office up until 12 o'clock, and on the streets was entirely order y and while there was demonstra ion from friends of Mr. Blease at good ews as it came in, perfect order and ood will seemed to prevail. Dr. Wyche is recommended over Mr. vans by about 200 votes. It will be observed from the returns hat Mr. McDuffie Hampton carries ewberry couity by a majority of about 350 over Mr. Cansler, and hat Mr. Moore carries the county ver Mr. Richardson by a small ma ority.

If he becomes governor it will be the suffrage of men of intelligence and integrity and self respect which put him In that office." The Charleston paper spoke the truth. Up in Newberry the truth is fully understood that men of intelli gence and integrity and self-respect put Mr. Blease in the office of g,ver nor of South Ca+olina. The half dozen county papers sup porting Blease must have formed a powerful combination. The astonished and surprised and routed opposition are trying to figure out how it was done. Who killed cock robin? Who hit Billy? Who rang that bell? Some local Featherstone men say there is an ordinance against ringing the fire bell as it was rung Tuesday night. Aldermon Baxter says so too and that he will enforce it. As soon as he heard It he went to the opera house, but instead of seeing one man he saw on to about one hundred cit Izens swarming out so that he couldn't tell which one did it. The buzzard lit. Gonzales intended it for a buzzard, but a Newberry cit izen said from the first that it was a bald eagle. Mr. Henry B. Wells formed the name of Blease with a chain on The Herald and News bulletin board* Wednesday morning. It attracted attention and took well. Now that Blease is elected, what has become of Harry Thaw, and where is Dr. Cook? And did Peary really dis cover the North Pole? As soon as it was decided that the Newberry man had won Tuesday night the Blease men in crowds began to celebrate. They got the hose wagon, rang the bell and scampered away, shouting and yelling. If there was a blind tiger man in the throng the re porter didn't see him; he did see men and boys of 'two classes, and among them he saw "men of intelligence, in tegrity and self-respect," the n.ind of men who, as the News and Courier boasts, made Blease governoi'. The Blease campaign management was the finest ever witnessed. Blease's victory was the greatest ever made in Scuth Carolina. DIED OF HEART FAILURE. H. E. Bedenbaugh of Olympia XIll Village Passed Away Suddenly. H. E. Bedenbaugh of 1035 Church street, Olympia mill village, died very suddenly at his home yesterday morn ing. It seems that Mr. Bedenbaugh, who is an operative at the Granby mill, had been away on a trip to New berry, his old home. On Monday af ternoon he returned and was appar ently in the best of health. Yesterday morning his wife arose early and went to the mill about 6 o'clock. When she returned at 12 for dinner she found him dead. A physician was called in and all possible was done to revive him but without result. He died from natural causes. Coroner Walker was notified of the death and made an in vestigation during the afternoon but decided it unnecessary to have an in quest, it being clearly a natural death. Mr. Bedenbaugh is formerly of New berry, but has been a resident of Co lumbia for the past three years. He was 40 years old.., The above is from the Columbia. State of Wednesday morning. The deceased was a brother of Mr. W. P. Bedenbaugh, of this city, and once re sided here. The remains were brought to Prosperity on the 8.30 train yester day morning and interred at St. Luke's church cemetery. Services at Mt. Zion. There will be Sunday school and services at Mt.
